== Requirements ==
 
 
 
"Path of Diablo" mod works perfectly under Wine (just as vanilla D2:LoD does), but its launcher requires some additional configuration.
 
Basically all you need - setup win32 prefix and install dotnet 4.0 there.
 
 
 
== Preparing prefix ==
 
 
 
* Install ''Wine'' and ''winetricks'' packages from your distro repositories. In case of Archlinux:
 
 
 
<blockquote>'''pacman -S wine winetricks'''</blockquote>
 
 
 
* Create new win32 prefix with winecfg. Just close winecfg window after it starts - it already installed new x86 (32-bit) Windows to "prefix32" folder in your user home directory:
 
 
 
<blockquote>'''WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 winecfg'''</blockquote>
 
 
 
* Install dotnet4.0 with winetricks there:
 
 
 
<blockquote>'''WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 winetricks'''</blockquote>
 
 
 
Select "install DLL or Windows components" on '''second''' screen, choose "dotnet40" option and press OK
 
 
 
== Installing the game ==
 
 
 
* Download game files, patches and PoD installer to any folder as described [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN3O0jbYM1w here].
 
* Unpack ''DiabloII_113c_Installer.zip'' somewhere
 
* Fire up terminal, enter ''Original'' directory first, run
 
 
 
<blockquote>'''WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine Installer.exe'''</blockquote>
 
 
 
* Enter ''Expansion'' directory, run
 
 
 
<blockquote>'''WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine installer.exe'''</blockquote>
 
 
 
* Enter directory with ''LODPatch_113d.exe'', run
 
 
 
<blockquote>'''WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine LODPatch_113d.exe'''</blockquote>
 
 
 
* Install PoD launcher. As .msi files aren't executables, make sure to use "wine start"
 
 
 
<blockquote>'''WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine start pathofdiablolauncher.msi'''</blockquote>
 
 
 
== Running the game ==
 
 
 
* In terminal, enter Diablo II directory and run PoD launcher
 
 
 
<blockquote>'''WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine Path\ of\ Diablo\ Launcher.exe'''</blockquote>
 
 
 
* Select "Choose Main Gateway" and press "Set Gateway"
 
* Press "Update Available" to get the latest client version
 
* Press "Play"
 
 
 
== Loot Filter and QoL settings ==
